Where to survive the end of the world

Bunkers, mines, caves and high-altitude havens where you can ride out the coming apocalypse. Bugarach, France This tiny French village of 176 residents, hidden away in the foothills of the Pyrenees, has risen to prominence in recent months, with the internet rumour mill claiming it to be the only place on earth that will be saved on doomsday. The reasons why remain sketchy at best. According to "New Age lore", it as an "alien garage" where extraterrestrials are waiting to abandon Earth, taking a few lucky humans with them. Yeah right. In an attempt to prevent pandemonium, local authorities have banned UFO watchers and light aircraft from the flat-topped mountain of Pic de Bugarach.
